Other tests include:
First and Second Trimester Screenings
These screenings follow American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology guidelines. Nuchal tranlucency measurements are performed only by certified ultrasonagraphers trained in this procedure.
Targeted Level 2 Ultrasounds
Board Certified Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians and sonographers who are experienced in fetal imaging perform these ultrasounds to identify fetal abnormalities.
Amniocentesis
Performed during pregnancy, this test can detect chromosomal disorders and inherited metabolic disorders. In the later stages of pregnancy, it helps identify suspected problems such as Rh incompatibility or infection.
Non-Stress Testing and Biophysical Profile
These procedures evaluate the well-being of the fetus and measure such things as the amount of amniotic fluid and fetal movement, muscle tone, and lung movement. The procedures also establish characteristics such as fetal age, sex and weight, and help diagnose any conditions that might affect development.
Diabetes Co-Management
These services are available for insulin and non-insulin dependent patients.
